Activities to Do With Nature Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. You can repurpose these sheets into creative projects that get kids engaging with the world around them. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Outdoor Scavenger Hunt
Turn the coloring page into a checklist. Have your child color a page featuring specific items like pine trees, birds, or flowers. Then, head outside for a walk and see if they can find the real-life versions of what they just colored. It connects art directly to nature.
Mixed Media Collage
Combine coloring with natural textures. After coloring the main elements, go outside to collect small leaves, twigs, or flower petals. Glue these items onto the paper to create a 3D effect. For example, glue real grass at the bottom of the page or small pebbles near a river scene.
DIY Nature Journal Covers
Use a finished coloring page as the cover for a DIY nature journal. Glue the artwork to the front of a notebook or binder. Your child can use the journal to sketch things they see on hikes, press flowers, or write down their observations about the weather and seasons.
Window Suncatchers
Turn a paper coloring page into a translucent suncatcher. Color the image with bright markers or crayons. Then, lightly coat the back of the paper with baby oil using a cotton ball. Let it dry completely. The oil makes the paper semi-transparent, so when you tape it to a sunny window, it glows like stained glass.
Storytelling Prompts
Use the finished scene as a writing prompt. Ask your child to flip the paper over and write a short story about what is happening in the picture. If they are too young to write, they can tell you the story verbally while you write it down for them. This builds vocabulary and imagination.
Custom Wrapping Paper
Print multiple simple nature patterns (like the leaves or simple trees) and tape them together. This makes for adorable, personalized wrapping paper for small gifts. Add a natural touch by tying the gift with twine and tucking in a sprig of rosemary or pine.
FAQs
How Do I Print These Coloring Pages?
To print, simply click the link or button associated with the image you want. This will open the high-resolution PDF file. From there, click the print icon in your browser or viewer. Ensure your printer is set to the correct paper size, usually Letter or A4.
What Paper Is Best for Coloring?
Standard printer paper works well for crayons and colored pencils. However, if you plan to use markers, watercolors, or gel pens, we recommend using cardstock or a heavier weight paper. This prevents the ink from bleeding through and keeps the paper from crinkling.
Are These Coloring Pages Free?
Yes, all the nature coloring pages on this list are completely free for personal and educational use. You can print as many copies as you like for your family, classroom, or community group.
Can Adults Use These Pages?
Absolutely. Coloring is a fantastic stress-relief activity for adults. Many of the designs, such as the detailed landscapes and patterns, are complex enough to keep adults engaged and relaxed.

No account or sign-up is required. We believe in making creativity accessible. Just browse the collection, find the nature scenes you love, and download them instantly.
How Can I Use These in a Classroom?
These pages are great for science or geography lessons. You can use them to discuss ecosystems, seasons, or specific animals. They also work well as a quiet activity for early finishers or as part of a mindfulness station in the classroom.
